“I’m afraid that won’t do. That snake beast is my female’s suitor. He’ll probably become our family in the future. How can I hand over my family? Besides, my little female won’t be able to bear it. I don’t want her to be sad.”
Shen Yan said angrily, “A life for a life. It’s only right and proper!”
“That’s impossible. I plan to solve this problem in another way.”
“In what way?”
“You’re planning to settle on the rock mountain, right?”
Shen Yan did not answer, but it showed his tacit agreement.
The location of the rock mountain was very good. It was suitable for long-term settlement. The entire feather tribe had spent too much energy on this migration. Many of them had already fallen sick from exhaustion.
It wasn’t easy to find such a suitable place to live. The birds didn’t want to give up.
No one could guarantee that they would be able to find such a suitable residence if they left.
Shuang Yun tapped the ground. “This is the rock mountain. It’s the territory of our Rock Wolf Tribe. According to the rules, the entire rock mountain belongs to us. As latecomers, if you want to live here, you have to get our permission first.”
Shen Yan was still silent.
Shuang Yun smiled. “Logically speaking, we won’t allow other tribes to settle down on the rock mountain, but seeing that you’ve lost your hatchilings this time, we’ll reluctantly agree to let you settle on the mountaintop as compensation.”
…
Lin Huanhuan paced back and forth uneasily.
Why wasn’t Shuang Yun back yet? Was he really fighting with the birds?
Bai Di placed a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry. Shuang Yun will be fine.”
“Shuang Yun has a bad temper and is very rude with his words. I’m afraid he’ll have a falling out with them and start fighting.” The more Lin Huanhuan thought about it, the more annoyed she became. “I should have let you accompany him to the feather tribe.”
Bai Di was steady and thoughtful. With him around, Shuang Yun should not be at a disadvantage.
She craned her neck to look out. The sun was almost setting.
If Shuang Yun still didn’t return, she would personally go up the mountain to look for him!
At this moment, Shuang Yun brought Jiu Yuan and the others down the mountain.
Shuang Yun had just stabilized himself when Lin Huanhuan flew into his arms. She pouted and complained, “Why are you only back now?!”
Shuang Yun caught the enthusiastic female, held her small buttocks with his big hands, and picked her up.
“We talked about a lot of things, so we were delayed a little.”
Bai Di smiled at his composure. “I see your negotiation with the feather tribe went well.”
Shuang Yun’s lips curled up, and his dark green eyes shone. “It’s alright. Negotiating is just a piece of cake for me. I prefer to solve problems by fighting.”
Lin Huanhuan ignored his narcissism and quickly asked, “The leader of the feather tribe has agreed to reconcile?”
“Yes. As compensation, I’ve given them the top of the rock mountain for them to call home. Just now, the leader of the feather tribe and I have divided the territory clearly. It’s settled.”
Lin Huanhuan’s eyes lit up. “Shuang Yun, you’re amazing!”
Shuang Yun raised his chin. “Of course!”
…
In the feather tribe, Shen Yan was still sitting there with an ugly expression.
Xue Ling had walked in at some point. His dark red clothes swayed with his footsteps, and his long golden hair reached his waist.
His sharp lips curved. “I heard you were bullied by the leader of the wolf tribe?”
Shen Yan punched the carpet and gritted his teeth. “When I find a chance in the future, I’ll definitely teach that bastard a lesson! I won’t let this matter rest!”
Revenge was a dish best served cold!
“From the looks of it, you’ve indeed been bullied badly. Alright. When you recover, find a chance to fight that guy one-on-one and settle the score.”
Shen Yan clenched his fists. “I’ll definitely beat him up!”
Xue Ling’s eyes flickered. “But then again, this matter has taught us a lesson.”
“What do you mean?”
“The main reason why our hatchlings dared to run down the mountain was because our tribesmen protected them too much. They think that they’re as safe as at home and don’t have any sense of worry. Although Shuang Yun’s personality is annoying, he’s right about one thing. If this continues, our hatchlings will gradually lose their combat strength and become useless caged birds. We won’t be able to protect them forever. In the end, we’ll still die.”
Although Xue Ling held the title of elder, he rarely interfered in the affairs of the feather tribe.
This was the first time he had said so much in one go.
Shen Yan gradually relaxed his fists, and a helpless expression appeared on his handsome face.
“I know you’re right, but it’s too difficult for the birds to reproduce. Especially in the past few years. There have been fewer and fewer females who can lay eggs every year. The number of eggs they lay is also decreasing. We only managed to save a few of the hatchlings last winter. It wasn’t easy to get them. Our people have no choice but to love them.”
Xue Ling revealed a mocking expression. “Even if such weak hatchlings survive, they’re just trash!”
Shen Yan was speechless.
When he said nothing, Xue Ling flicked his sleeve. “Whatever. You’re the leader of the feather tribe. How you decide the future of the feather tribe is your business. I can’t be bothered.”
This topic was too heavy, so Shen Yan didn’t want to mention it again. Instead, he asked about another interesting matter.
“I heard you’ve taken a fancy to a little female of the wolf tribe and confessed to her in public?”
Xue Ling remembered the little female’s soft appearance and chuckled. “That little female is indeed quite cute.”
It was rare for Shen Yan to see Xue Ling interested in something. He immediately became interested in the little female.
If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely go and see that little female himself!
…
From now on, the birds and the wolves would be neighbors.
However, both sides still bore a grudge and did not like each other. Usually, when they saw each other, their eyes would widen in resentment.
Their relationship showed no signs of improving.
Shuang Yun didn’t care about that.
He, Bai Di, and Sang Ye began to harvest the latest batch of ripe vegetables and fruits. They had to wake up early and work late every day.
As a pregnant woman, Lin Huanhuan wanted to help, but she was firmly rejected by the three male beasts.
She could only sit in the shade and watch them work.
For the sake of convenience, Sang Ye did not wear his grayish-white robe. Instead, like Shuang Yun, he only wore an animal hide skirt around his waist.
The three male beasts were working in the field. Sweat streaked their handsome faces and dripped down their chins.
Their beautiful muscles were full of strength, and their sweat-stained abs glistened in the sun. Their broad shoulders and long legs made the three of them look even more charming and handsome.
Lin Huanhuan rested her chin in her hands, staring intently as her mouth drooled.
The three of them were so handsome…
Although she saw them every day, she still felt that they were getting more and more handsome.
She just couldn’t get enough of them!
